Lightbulb ftp: ftp/tcp: unknown service
Hello,

when I type ftp on the server (Sco Unix 5.0.4) it gives an error messages which is "ftp: ftp/tcp: unknown service"
but I have this service in '/etc/services' file.
Also when I want to telnet from another machine to this machine is gives also 'telnet: tcp/telnet: unknown service' this message.
what sould I have to do about solve those problems ?

Thanks
Aly

Hi,

Are you sure that the services are well written on /etc/services ?
Are you using NIS or other information service ?
